What's more annoying is the complete lack of effort.  Let me head off at 
the pass the "the onus is on the person who wants to include it" 
commentary - we're building an encyclopedia, and if you see a statement 
you're unsure of, and you can't take a minute to see if you can solve 
it, you're simply not helping.

It's lazy, and it simply wastes everyone's time.
